So really, you can accuse academics of being closed-minded from your own perspective but you can't use your own perspective as evidence to present to others to support your own contention they're closed-minded? Well you can, but you can't logically expect them to take any notice.

Hey i was only ever saying one person was been closed minded!! i know not all academics are closed minded, quite the contrary, sorry with the rest you've lost me a bit- but maybe that's the point so called intelligence is sometimes used as a bit of a weapon here i feel.
